Council Agenda Statement Meeting Date: January 8, 2007 To: Marvin Yoder, Interim City Manager From: Scott A. Ransom, Harbormaster Agenda Item: Accepting two designated legislative grants totaling $2.2 million for Harbor T-Dock and Bulkhead BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION: The T-Dock and Bulkhead project was submitted as a legislative priority request in 2005 and in 2006. The City received $2 million in 2005 from the State DCED and received $2.2 million in 2006. This project will: 1) relocate and construct a new travelift dock; 2) add a bulkhead that will be used for temporary moorage for loading/unloading of fishing vessels; 3) rehabilitate the old Lift Dock and T Dock; and 4) add new power hook-ups, water and lighting. This project will provide significantly improved facilities for the commercial fishing fleet using the Seward Fisheries, a major fish processing facility in south-central Alaska. Fishing vessels up to 180 feet visit the docks along the north end of the harbor throughout the year to unload their catch at Seward Fisheries, change fishing gear, re-supply, fuel, make repairs, make crew changes and wait for fish openings and /or weather. The existing facilities constructed as early as 1965 are in poor condition and in need of significant repair and upgrade to adequately serve the commercial fleet. We have completed a preliminary inspection and condition assessment to determine the required scope of repairs to existing facilities. A design study has been completed. We are now prepared to go to bid for the Bulkhead sheet pile and the construction project. CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Where applicable, this agenda statement is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter, Comprehensive Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules and Procedures. FISCAL NOTE: This is a cost-reimbursable grant which does not require a match, and is eligible to reimburse up to 10% of the projects administrative costs. In certain cases, direct payments may be made to specific vendors for large purchases. Approved by finance Department: RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the city manager to accept two grants totaling $2.2 million from the State of Alaska Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development Designated Legislative Grant Program to the Harbor T-Dock and bulkhead Capital Project Fund.
